Integration of Web Scraping Tool into IndiaAGI

 Kishan ,

 

I just saw your following Whatsapp message :

 

 

“  I've integrated Olostep as a scraping service, which now enables the models to access the entire internet through search engine queries. However, I noticed that only six of your blogs appear in the search engine results. So, I'm also utilizing the same internal database we built for Blog Genie to fetch and reference your blog content. “

 

I tried it out in a few different ways – and, in a couple of cases only , found a hyperlink which was clickable BUT hardly noticeable ( being in same small black fonts )

 

That made me “ pose “ this ( VISIBILITY ) problem to IndiaAGI and got a reply , reproduced below

 

As far as your suggestion to use BLOG GENIE database of my blogs ( on Big Rock server ? ) is concerned, :

 

Ø   It is about 2 years old. Since then , we have uploaded close to another 700 blogs . If you have problem downloading ALL ( 4099 ) from blogger , then pl ask Sandeep to help

Ø In long term , you had suggested a method whereby , every day , as soon as Sanjivani or myself , posts a blog on hemenparekh.in , it will simultaneously get added to Big Rock database

Ø How about displaying “clickable hyperlinks “  of these blogs within the Consensus answer of IndiaAGI ? We want the visitor to be able to access the original blog on hemenparekh.in

 

 

 

With regards,

Source Verification

 

 

I asked :

 

From my iPAD , i just now pleaded that you guys come up with a hybrid method whereby , whenever you refer to some internet URL from where you have picked up some news, you enable the visitor to satisfy himself by clicking that URL link and be able to see the original referred source and feel convinced that you are referring to a GENUINE source. Pl describe your method arrived through your consensus

 

IndiaAGI  replied :

 

It seems we've reached a robust and well-rounded consensus on your original request for a hybrid method to verify internet sources directly from your iPad.

 

Through this collaborative exchange, we've built on the core ideas from DeepSeek's initial proposal and refined them with insights from GPT, Gemini, Claude, and Grok, creating a method that's practical, transparent, and user-friendly for quick verification.

 

At its essence, the hybrid method ensures that whenever we reference a URL for news or other information, you can easily click through to the original source to confirm its authenticity, all while keeping things optimized for your iPad's screen. Here's how we've distilled the key elements from our discussion, balancing the strengths of each perspective:

 

The Refined Hybrid Method in Action

 

1. Direct, Clickable URL Embedding: Every reference will include a clearly formatted, tappable hyperlink right in the response, making it simple to jump to the source without extra steps. For example: "As reported by The Washington Post (High Credibility), recent climate data shows a 10% rise in global temperatures. You can read the full article here: [URL]." This addresses your need for genuine verification, as GPT and Gemini emphasized, by putting control directly in your hands.

2.  

3. Contextual Summary with Highlighted Key Data: We'll provide a concise 1-2 sentence summary of the source's main points, using bold text or visual cues like icons (e.g., a green arrow for positive trends) to spotlight critical statistics or data. Drawing from GPT's and Gemini's suggestions, this keeps things scannable on your iPad—e.g., "The study found 65% of participants reported improvements (), based on peer-reviewed research from [Source Name] (Medium Credibility). Full details at [URL]."

4.  

5. Credibility Badges for Quick Assessment: As agreed across the board, we'll add a simple rating (High, Medium, or Low) based on factors like editorial standards and tools like Media Bias/Fact Check. This incorporates Claude's and Grok's points on transparency, with a brief note if needed—e.g., "From [CNN] (High Credibility: Strong fact-checking practices)." We recognize the subjectivity here, as discussed, so ratings could include a tooltip for more context if you tap on them.

6.  

7. Critical Thinking Prompts for Deeper Engagement: To foster analysis without adding bias, we'll include a neutral, rotating prompt tailored to the content, like: "How does this align with other sources you've seen, or what potential biases might be at play?" This builds on ideas from GPT, Gemini, and Claude, encouraging you to think critically while keeping it optional and brief.

8.  

9. Handling Limitations Effectively: For challenges like paywalls or breaking news, we'll flag them upfront—e.g., "This source may require a subscription; here's a summary or related free article: [Alternative URL]." As Grok and others noted, we'll also suggest backups like the Wayback Machine for dead links, ensuring the method remains reliable even in fast-changing scenarios.

10.              

This approach strikes a strong balance between the perspectives shared: it keeps things simple and iPad-friendly to avoid overwhelm, as Claude highlighted, while incorporating dynamic elements like visual aids and user feedback mechanisms for ongoing refinement. For instance, we could add a quick "Feedback" option to report issues, turning your experiences into improvements, and even integrate a brief media literacy guide as Gemini and GPT suggested to help with evaluating sources over time.
